No hype, just the reality behind the appearances relating to small-everything in and around Albany, New York by a native of the place. Some of it pure opinion but all of it written in the spirit of Truth, good facts-based journalism and freedom of expression!

The Ravena News Herald never seems to miss a chance to impress us—negatively, of course—and this latest issue (Ravena News Herald, October 9, 2024) is not an exception. In fact, start sockpuppet Bryan Rowzee again betrays local readers with an unusually slanted and biased report—even for lackey Rowzee— on the town of Coeymans discussion on eliminating another duplication of services that is eating up taxpayer dollars in Coeymans: the outdated dispatcher services. But Rowzee simply repeats what some of RCS’s star hypocrites and liars dribbled at a Coeymans town board meeting two weeks ago. Yes, readers, Rowzee’s report is two weeks old! The devious Rowzee and his editors make readers think the information is recent by not giving the date of the meeting, making it appear that it’s more recent. Don’t be deceived, readers, you’re paying your $1 for local news that’s two weeks old. Rowzee and the morons he quotes in his “report” don’t provide any facts or figures, just pure speculation and unfounded opinion—most of which is quoted from the turdy lips of local elected officials, public servants, and former board members, the very people you’d expect to get up and talk facts and figures. But, Hold on! Have we forgotted where we are? This is RCS. Not exactly the land of truth, reality, facts and figures.

So how do you, some of you readers of the rag, Ravena News Herald, and stupid enough to pay $1 to do it, know what they’re talking about? When you get no facts or truth, it’s like climbing stairs to nowhere. You can’t get to the second floor without steps or a ladder, and they’re keeping you from getting the stairs or ladder.

Here’s another example many of you might be more familiar with. It’s in the town of Bethlehem, just about halfway between Ravena and Albany, very visibly positioned to be seen and read by people traveling on 9W towards Albany.

No Mr Ratmeyer, this is not God’s handiwork?”

What this is, really is:

A distraction from the real awesomeness of God’s handiwork (which the sign is obliterating)

An example of the incomplete and flawed theology that local churches are feeding the famished faithful (Do they really know what it’s all about ?)

A very good example of the general misinformation and dysinformation that the American people are getting from their elected officials, their media, and—as our example shows—even from their churches! (Misinformation overload!)

A silly and feeble attempt to inspire a materialistic and individualistic mass of flesh passing by to come to their senses and recover, to salvage what’s left of their inheritance.

What it is, really is: A Lie.

In fact, it is a gross perversion of Calvin’s two-book theology of revelation: The book of Holy Scripture and the Book of Creation.The Reformed Church of America, an offshoot of Calvinism, like so many of our local churches, especially those of the minor and miniscule denominations, preach a misguided and misinformed theology to a very badly spiritually and religiously ignorant community. Ratmeyer’s Bethlehem Reformed Church isn’t the only one on the path to hell. We reported on this blog the demise of the New Baltimore Reformed Church under the misdirection of Ms Susan Kerr (read the article at: New Baltimore Reformed Church: Slow Agonizing Death). But Ratmeyer’s signboard is nothing more than a feeble attempt to send a message, a very poorly thought message, to an audience who haven’t a clue what he’s driving at. In fact, it’s such an offensive perversion because Ratmeyer appears to have fallen victim to the very thing that is destroying the soul of the very humanity he is so impotently attempting to reach: the electronic video screen. How many souls has the electronic video screen already destroyed by drawing the observer’s attention into its nothingness while at the same time distracting the victim from reality, from the real world, from the real beauty around him or her. What was said of television a decade or two ago was that had torn families apart; today it’s the home computer, the iPads and so-called smart phones (that are smarter than their victim users) that are finishing what television started: the destruction of a social, family-oriented, community-conscious society. And the misnamed, insidious so-called social media like Facebook (“Pink Obama” Sean Eldridge’s same-sex hubby Chris Hughes’ contribution to the decay of America—and now Eldridge wants your vote to make him a national lawmaker, a US congressman! No gay way!) which is in fact asocial, antisocial media that has disabled interpersonal communications and relationship building to new levels.

Now let’s get to our point, polishing turds.

Brian Rowzee and the Ravena News Herald Use a Lot of this.

So let’s get back to the News Herald and it’s misinformation and lies. While Rowzee makes very certain all of his friends get quoted, he conspicuously avoids any facts like:

How many dispatchers are concerned

How much money is being spent on the dispatchers and the dispatch office(s)

How much money will be saved if the dispatchers are eliminated

How many calls the dispatchers handle in a week, a month, a year

What kind of calls are they handling (life-and-death, car doesn’t start, cat-in-a-tree, etc.)

The fact that Albany County has a very sophisticated network of 911 dispatchers who can handle just about every emergency

That most of the dispatchers are family members of town and village employees (No surprise, right?)

That if Coeymans keeps the dispatchers, they will necessarily have to spend a bundle to update their outdated equipment and more money to train the dispatchers, something that you’re already paying for in your tax dollars because Albany County provides the dispatching service.

That if the dispatchers are eliminated, the town of Coeymans can save more than $350,000 in the budget.

That now that do-do cop Gregory Darlington has finally left the Coeymans p.d., the town can leave that position unfilled and save another more than $100,000 (Darlington was paid more than $100,000 if you include his benefits, pension, and town vehicle he drove around).

How does that pan out in terms of eliminating the Coeymans police department overall and letting the Albany County Sheriff and the New York State police do what they’re being paid to do. (Read our article at: Supervisor Flach: On Eliminating the Coeymans P.D.)

And finally, What brand of turd polish are you using to make local shit shine, Mr Rowzee?

So let’s ask Mr Rowzee and his editors, and his bosses Mark Vinciguerra and John B. Johnson of the Johnson Newspapers Corp., the corporation that owns the Ravena News Herald and Mr Bryan Rowzee, who is also part-owned by the village of Ravena: Where are the facts, the figures, the real meat and potatoes of the issue?

Looking at Rowzee’s so-called report:

Nothing you’re likely to get from Bryan Rowzee or the Ravena News Herald!

It seems that Mr Tom Dolan, local democrap party official and sitting town of Coeymans board member, didn’t attend the information-gathering meetings with the other board members, when they met with Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple. Why doesn’t Mr Rowzee dig a bit deeper into the reasons why Dolan fell short of his obligations to this community to do everything possible to be as well informed as possible?

Rowzee reports that “two visiting village [of Ravena] trustees” attended the meeting and commented. Wait a minute, wasn’t it the village of Ravena who a couple of years back told the town of Coeymans that town employees could not address the village board meetings? And didn’t Michael Biscone, village attorney at the time, put that in a formal letter to the town? (Read the article at: Business as Usual in Ravena: Violation of Constitutional Rights!) And of all people from the village to make any comments on anything, we have Ravena’s Bill Bailey and Nancy Warner making statements!

That’s the same Bill Bailey who was told a couple of months back by town code enforcement officer Laverne Conrad in a public meeting on water delivery that Bailey was “telling the board a load of crap” (Read the article at: Conrad to Bailey: “You’re telling this board a load of crap!”). While we have little regard for that snake Laverne Conrad and his crooked deals and illegal land development projects (Rea our article at: Got Creek? The Case of the Missing Stream…, , he’s right Bailey does talk crap. He’s known far and wide to talk crap. He never has any solid facts and mumbles any shite that happens to make its way into his muddled head. But Rowzee quotes him voicing his concern about New Scotland and Rensselaer, Westerlo, says Bailey, “I don’t believe…pay for dispatch and receive the service.” Duh! What’s your point Bozo? And, excuse us, isn’t Rensselaer a city and a county on the other side of the river? What in hell does Rensselaer have to to with Coeymans? How does Rensselaer compare to that hovel New Scotland or Westerlo? Any answers Mr Bailey, Mr Rowzee? Oops, they’re talking a load of crap AGAIN!

Typical Rat Response

Both Mr Bill Bailey and Mr Tom Boehm, who lost the public’s confidence in the last elections when he was voted out, were apparently concerned with “timing,” and that the town’s inquiry is being made around budget time. Duh No. 2. This is a question, Mr Bailey and Mr Boehm, of trimming a considerable amount of money from the town budget. When in hell else should it be considered you two morons? Are you suggesting that dead wood should be kept in the budget and the budget approved, then the dead wood discussed and possibly eliminated. Sounds like the way Bailey runs Ravena and Boehm used to run Coeymans: put the cart before the horse and wonder why nothing happens.

And of all people to be talking about behind-the-scenes meetings, and decisions made in secret, sounds like Mr Boehm is losing it. He was voted out of office because of his secret meetings, his fake press releases and conferences, his general dishonesty. But now that Boehm is out, he’s got a lot to say. Well, who would know better than Tom Boehm about sneaking around and leaving the public out of the loop. Answer: Ravena sitting trustee-who-can’t-be-trusted, none other than Nancy Warner. That’s who!

Nancy Warner should know all there is to know about making decisions behind closed doors and secret meetings. Just about two years ago she conspired with Cathy Deluca and insider Robert Fisk to purchase more than $40,000 in used fitness equipment from Fisk. The equipment was used in a health club under Cathy Deluca’s management that failed. The club and its contents were owned by Ravena insider Bob Fisk. That purchase was made behind closed doors but the history gets even more scandalous.

Nancy Warner and others on the Ravena village board met secretly with Cathy Deluca and decided that Cathy Deluca would get a health club in the space occupied at the time by the RCS Community Library. So Nancy Warner and the Ravena village board made life as miserable as possible for the library and even raised the library’s rent by more than $600 a month, punishing them for not moving out. But nothing was said that the premises into which they were to move was not yet ready because the cousin, Don Persico, of sitting Ravena board member, Rocco Persico (voted out of office in the last elections but still employed by the RCS school district as a school psychologist), because Persico was waiting for the bank to approve a loan so he could continue the work. Smell a rat yet? If you do it’s called a Nancy Warner!

It gets better. Well, the village of Ravena board under Warner and Bailey, then create the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, without public input and go on to budget more than $100, 000 to support it in its first year in the Ravena budget. $40,000 for used equipment, no public input, secret meetings. $100,000 for an unnecessary health club, no public input, secret meetings.

Then, they appoint Cathy Delucato be the director of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center—by this time she’s already managed two previous health clubs into oblivion and failure—, she has no qualifications at all—except that she’d previously managed two health clubs into oblivion—, and then fraudulently push through her position as a civil service position, non-competitive, with associated benefits–the director of the Albany County Civil Service Department who approved the application lost his job shortly after we started investigating the misuse of the process— (Read our article at: Ravena Laws Unconstitutional! Violation of Protected First Amendment Rights AGAIN!), and Warner pushed to pay Deluca more than $30,000 plus benefits. $40,000 for used equipment, no public input, secret meetings. $100,000 for an unnecessary health club, no public input, secret meetings. $30,000 for an unqualified insider, Cathy Deluca, to manage the illegal Ravena Health and Fitness Center, using the illegally purchased used fitness equipment. No public input, no public meetings, all behind closed doors.

But Rowzee quotes Nancy Warner as saying, “If this is going to involve the entire town and include the village, I think we need to just be made aware of what is going on.” Really, Nancy? You thieving hypocrite!

Shame on you, Nancy Warner.

You’ll remember last year when Nancy Warner and former mummy-mayor John Bruno were targeting the kids in Ravena, getting ex-Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington to harass them with his patrols. That stopped abruptly when we reported on the situation and filed a notice of claim against Ravena and the town of Coeymans police department for violation of civil and protected rights. Have you all forgotten Nancy Warner’s involvement in the misdemeanor and civil right violations charges against Cathy Deluca and the obstruction of justice complaints brought against the Coeymans police department when Cathy Deluca filed a false report and lied to the Coeymans police, trying to bring a harassment charge against a local resident who was visiting the Ravena Health and Fitness Club. Even though the resident recorded the entire visit, from the point of leaving his car to the point of driving off, completely proving that Cathy Deluca had lied, she was kept employed. (Read the article at: Criminal Complaint: Catherine M. Deluca a.k.a. Cathy Deluca, Claude A. Wheeles, Ravena Health and Fitness Center) Then officer Jason Albert, now “detective” Jason Albert, investigated but like a good little soldier obeyed when told to drop it, was rewarded for his obstruction of justice and playing the favorites, insiders game with that promotion to detective. (Read the article at: Criminal Obstruction of Justice & Official Misconduct: Gregory Darlington, Coeymans PD)Isn’t that enough on its own to eliminate the Gestapo Coeymans police department and fire all of the thugs employed there? Wouldn’t that be enough to fire Cathy Deluca? They fired a village employee for using a village postage stamp but kept criminal Deluca on? (Reade the article at:Village of Ravena Served: Cathy Deluca and Ravena Health and Fitness Center under Fire and Bruno, Deluca, Warner Squirming to Cover It Up) Go figure!

Oh! Did we mention that Nancy Warner “supervises” the village of Ravena court? It just so happens that her husband, the corrupt, civil-rights abuser ex-Albany cop, Harold “Hal” Warner is the Village of Ravena justice. Pretty cozy, isn’t it? But the notion of conflict of interests, abuse of public office, and public corruption hasn’t yet entered Ravena’s vocabulary, and, if what we’ve been able to observe in Ravena mayor William “Moose” Misuraca’s performance, it’s not likely those words will be used very soon either.

By the way, the Ravena Health and Fitness Center pays no rent, does not pay for the facilities, is failing to attract enough members to even come close to paying Cathy Deluca’s salary, let alone the $100,000 budgeted for the money pit, but Ravena mayor William “Moose” Misuraca and his village board have not made a single step towards eliminating Cathy Deluca’s playpen and wasting Ravena tax dollars. Why is that Mr Misuraca?Why is it, Mr Rowzee, that you never utter a peep about these issues that are so important to residents and this community?

Bryan Rowzee has been reporting for the Ravena News Herald at least for as long as all of this has been going on. He works in the RCS Community Library (see the photo on the same page of the October 9, 2014 Ravena News Herald, where he’s posing with other library employees). But Rowzee, whose wife is employed by the village of Ravena as a secretary in the building department, is very careful to report just the right things and quote the right people, isn’t he. Bryan Rowzee is just as guilty as the crooks he paints in such rosy colors in his so called reports. Why? Because the village of Ravena employs his wife!

Another insignificant loser to take the speakers podium was former town of Coeymans board member, Dawn Rogers, voted out in the last elections, and a close collaborator of Guess who? You got it, Tom Boehm and Tom Dolan. She makes up the third in the Coeymans Three Stooges Losers’ Club. Dawn Rogers never had much to say while on the board but she’s pretty perky when it comes to joining in with the crooks’ choir, isn’t she? Rogers couldn’t be heard or when heard, believed while on the board, why should she now have such credibility? Maybe Mr Rowzee can answer that question.

The others, other than Jolene Hopkins, who was staged together with her prop-child to tear at some heart strings and support the other phoneys, was not an Oscar-winning performance. It was too easy to see through her and her story. Why is it these crooks always get the kids involved? That should be a form of abuse of a child!

Coeymans ex- police chief, Gregory Darlington, did what all good rats do.

The other speakers are really insignificant because their statements were made only to protect their own turf, their own jobs, the jobs they got with the town for their relatives. Fire chief Travis Whitbeck, former Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington (who announced his abrupt resignation later that very night) really had their own pockets in mind and had nothing, really, to say about facts and figures or anything constructive. Even Darlington, the coward, chose to resign rather than stand his ground and fight for his dispatchers and his department. Like a rat, he abandoned ship.(Our guess is that race-ticket-carrier Albany County district Attorney, another corrupt rat-keeper, P. David Soares, is expected to take Darlington in. Darlington will then be able to sit next to his wife, who already works for “Pudenda” Soares.) Albany will never change as the capital of corruption. But did we expect anything else?

Maybe if local residents boycott the Ravena News Herald and the other newspapers owned by the Johnson Newspaper Corp.(like theThe Daily Mail • Chatham Courier •Windham Journal • The Mountain Eagle •Ravena News-Herald • Greene County News • River Chronicle) and its officers like Mark Vinciguerra and John B. Johnson, they might give Mr Bryan Rowzee some guidance on how to report real news, true facts, and genuine figures so that the community is informed and educated, not just fed gossip and propaganda! Hell! We might even be able to get recent news honestly reported and not reports on events that are more than 2 weeks old!

And We Thought the Village of Ravena Couldn’t Stoop Any LowerThey Can!

There’s one other story that needs to be covered here. That’s the one where Ravena resident Regina Palmer has had to appear before the Ravena village board to be humiliated into asking to make installment payments for charges levied by the village of Ravena for “discovering” a water leak in the delivery line from the water mains. Maybe Ms Palmer should inquire with the village authorities about the village’s offer in the late 90’s to foot the bill for residential service lines from the village mains to the resident and to foot the bill for the digging! It’s in the public record! Dozens of homes got it done, and it’s still done for insiders ‘quietly’. Doesn’t that make better sense? Do you think Palmer should have had to pay twice for the digging? We think NOT! Not while they’re paying crooks like Cathy Deluca$30,000 a year for What? And more than $100,000 a year for an illegal health club? And how many tens of thousands on botched up roadwork? It’s no wonder there’s no business in Ravena-Coeymans. It’s no wonder half of Ravena-Coeymans’ properties are either distressed, vacant, or up for sale. Way to go Ravena! Just try that on our property and learn what a good ass-kicking feels like!

Ms Palmer has kindly provided more specific details on the situation. Please see the comments for more information: We would like to correct the report we posted on the Palmer property and water line leak between the main and the Palmer home.Property where Gina Palmer resides in is not in Ravena. The location that the digging occurred was not on Ms Palmer’s property, it was in fact under the road. When they discovered the leak, they did indeed show me where it was and told me it was my responsibility since the leak was in the residential line not at the main. After inquiring about how I would go about fixing a leak that was under a state road, Henry did provide Ms Palmer with the names of local contractors who could do the work; however, Ms Palmer suggested that since it was already dug up that they should go ahead and fix it. Palmer was told that there would be a charge and she agreed to have them do the work. Palmer reports that she personally thought the fee they charged was more than reasonable compared to what other contractors may have charged for this same work. Palmer says she appreciates that the Ravena board accepted her request to make payments.

Our response: It was improper for Henry Traver to have recommended local contractors to Ms Palmer. That should have resulted in a complaint to the village Board. If the leak was under a state road, we don’t understand why Ms Palmer agreed to pay for the repair. Why didn’t she inquire further how Traver and his crew of dunces established the property lines. If they were digging under a state road, how could they know that the leak was on Palmer’s property? Why would Palmer agree to pay for the digging before a proper investigation had been conducted? Seems to us that Palmer falls in to the general category of Ravena self-made victims. We think that what Palmer did in this instance is like handing a drug addict a joint. Palmer actually enabled these crooks to continue their unlawful and crooked games with Ravena residents.

Nevertheless, Ms Palmer is an adult and can do whatever she likes. We consider what she does in its effects on the general community, however.

Here are some Reasons Why Ravena Needs a New Mayor & New Trustees:

Well, the title graphic above should say it all. Bruno has, in the more than 25 years he’s been in office, succeeded in driving business and residents out of the Village of Ravena! Ravena is fast becoming a real ghost town.

But Bruno hasn’t done it alone. His monkeys on the Village Council have supported him all the way. Two of those monkeys are running for re-election: Martin Case and Rocco Persico. If Ravena is to survive, voters can’t let that happen.

TEAM MUMMYPersico – Bruno – Case

Here are just a couple of reasons to kick their arses out of Village Hall:

Transformed the Village of Ravena from a vibrant model village community of families and neighbors into a ghost town of backstabbers.

Rather than support the RCS Community Library when it was between a rock and a hard place, Bruno-Persico-Case chose to EVICT the community library! To add insult to injury, they even raised the library’s rent by more than $600 a month to punish the library for not being able to move into the new building (which was being renovated by Rocco Persico’s own cousin, Don Persico!)

Bruno-Persico-Case purchased used exercise equipment for more than $40,000 from insider Bob Fisk using tax payer dollars with no inputs from taxpayers!

Bruno-Persico-Case then evicted the RCS Community Library and created a useless fitness center in the library space and installed insider Cathy Deluca as the “director” of Cathy’s new playpen.

Then Bruno-Persico-Case went ahead and budgeted more than $105,000 to finance the Ravena Health and Fitness Center for 2014, paying insider Cathy Deluca more than $30,000to run the place and getting her civil service classification with full benefits at YOUR expense. The fitness center is losing money, YOUR MONEY, and is a money-pit.

While they were evicting the library and creating a playpen for Cathy Deluca and Nancy Warner, another one of your fine Village trustees, they were busy persecuting local teens and youth, harassing them under unconstitutional local village laws, aided and abetted in their unlawful harassment by the Coeymanazi police department (Gregory Darlington and “Dirty-Hands Jerry” Deluca).

While harassing the kids Bruno-Persico-Case and Nancy Warner were killing the Ravena-Coeymans Teen and Youth Activities Center, a place where the kids could go to get off the streets and stay out of trouble. But the village of Ravena couldn’t allocate a dime for the kids but could spend $40,000 on used exercise equipment for the Cathy Deluca’s playpen, the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, plus budget more than $105,000 for the Ravena Heaps and Fatness Club. Ravena-Coeymans youth and teens owe Bruno, Persico and Case a good swift kick!

Mayor John Bruno seems to conveniently forget all of his secret deals and meetings. Think about it Magnolia Circle residents when you think CSX and your missing trees. Two-faced Brunoand his lackies Rocco Persico and Martin Case played stupid when confronted about the unlawfully cut trees. You ought to be really pissed Magnolia Circle residents not only because of your trees but because of the LIES!

Mayor John Bruno and his bunch of flying monkeys, Rocco Persico, Martin Case, Nancy Warner, and William “Bill” Bailey have a lot of explaining to do about their financial mismanagement of the village of Ravena. Too many New York State Comptroller’s audits have turned up too many “mistakes” and too much mismanagement to be just accidental. They’re not accidents, they’re incompetence and corruption! And did you ever try to get Bruno and his monkeys to disclose any of their shady business deals? Good luck! Everything goes on behind closed doors mafia-style until the shite hits the fan and then Bruno says: “I didn’t know!”Just what you want to hear from your mayor, the chief financial officer of the village!

Plenty of money, taxpayer money, to waste or steal in a village with a shrinking tax base. You get to pay more for less and for shoddy management. Who in their right mind would pave new streets over 100-year-old pipelines that regularly burst and flood residents’ basements? Only TEAM BRUNO!

Who paves over natural streams and creeks and installs culverts that can’t handle the flow? The result, constant flooding of parking lots and streets. That’s TEAM BRUNO management for you!

Who uses threats and strong-arm tactics to attract business(Yes! We know, that’s not how it should be done!)? TEAM BRUNO! “If you don’t do it my way, you’ll never do business in or with Ravena again!” That’s how TEAM BRUNOattracts business. Same for residents. No residential growth no business. Great plan TEAM BRUNO! The proof: Check out Main Street Ravena!

The Bruno Methodfor attracting business and families

The picture above comes from the 2008 film “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor / Action-Fantasy” but could easily be retitled 2014 “The Mummy: Ravena, Tomb of the Dragon Mayor (2014)/ No-Action-Fantasy.”

There’s more, so much more and we’re sure we’ll be hearing from Ravena residents with horror stories about their experiences with John T. Bruno over the past 28 years or so. But the real proof is when you look around Ravena and see the damage that he and his lackies have done.

What’s worse, his two running mates, Martin “Marty” Case, a real loser from the start, and Rocco Persico, a lump of do-nothing, are also employees of the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District! Can you imagine that loser Case as a social studies teacher? Or Rocco Persico as a school psychologist? But yes, that’s where they have their main jobs. Your kids are exposed to duds like Case and Persico and you wonder why graduation rates and test scores are abysmal at RCS schools? So it should be no surprise to you that when they got into village hall they did what they do best: NOTHING! Again, YOUR TAX DOLLARS at work.

(And keep your eye on that little dwarf Tom Dolan, that honorary member of the freak show is local Democratic Party chairperson and allegedly has finnagled the votes from his Choice program people and Oakbrook, too! But judging from the percentage of Dems voting in favor of Misuraca, Dolan’s failing as a democrat, too. The polls show 35% of votes for Misuraca are Dems and 32% are Republicans, a total of 67% (plus another 29% from Conservatives and Independents = 95% of votes for Misuraca!) Only 5% carrying Bruno!)

The Bruno SneerHe likes you, really.NOT!The Editor

Ravena currently has a Village Council of ONE, Black Mamba Mayor John T. Bruno. Nancy Warner is his bitch; Marty Case, Rocco Persico, Bill Bailey are his freak show stars. Ravena needs a real village council that doesn’t piss itself when the godfather sneers some obscenity. Vote smart with your heart and brain:

Of course, any Town of Coeymans official or member of the Coeymans Police Department has the opportunity to deny, correct, to clarify any of the statements made in this article. All he or she has to do is leave a comment. We want to hear what you have to say.

Thieves in Law EnforcementAnd They’re Robbing Us Blind!!!

This just in from one of our informants:

Just a few tidbits happening at Coeymans PD.

Officer Ryan Johnsonwho is supposed to be working for the DEA full-time (but is paid through our town of Coeymans tax dollars – not the DEA), and who can be found hanging out at the Coeymans PD all day and even being allowed to pick up OT shifts has now been promoted to Sargeant at Coeymans PD. Now you need to ask how it is that he can be a FT employee of the DEA (and just had his contract extended with the DEA) and now be promoted to Sargeant at Coeymans PD also – Isn’t this “double dipping”???? It just goes to show that the bad cops always come out on top! But only if the Coeymans town council allow it! The Coeymans town council has ultimate supervisory authority over the Coeymans Police Department and it’s idiot dodo chief, Darlington. So why don’t we ask what in hell is going on in that looney-bin of a town hall?

(Who exactly is paying Johnson? What is the contract with the DEA? Does the DEA reimburse Coeymans for Johnson’s time? What is he doing all day at the Coeymans p.d.? Why does he charge overtime if he’s working for the DEA? What was the basis of his promotion? Number of citizen complaint? Number of civil rights violations? Let’s get some answers, people!)

AGAIN: We say put a moratorium, a stop to any major decisions, including any promotions, especially in the Coeymans police department, until the new town board takes over in January.

Me SROMe Want OT!

Coeymans police officer Danielle Crosier is getting all the OT she could possibly want or “create” as the RCS Central School District “School Resource Officer.” But the kids are still doing all the enforcement work and stopping the bullying in the schools. When have you ever found it necessary for an SRO to ride the school bus with the football players after hours to an away-game and guess what – She was paid OT for this trip. How long will it be before we hear about the sexual escapades with the hot-and-horny athletes?!? School Resource Officer? Sounds to us like it’s a goldmine for a rookie female cop whose panties are too tight! Get that little vixen out of the school and put the teachers and administrators to work! That’s what they’re being paid to do! This isn’t the Bronx or Queens, its Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk! Why do we need police officers in our school corridors?!? (We should ask the working breeder-pairs, not parents, parents parent, but breeder-pairs. They breed them but don’t parent them—the same ones who voted the current RCS teachers board to be the RCS board of education. LOSERS!)

(Why was officer Danielle Crosier making the trip with the team? Was there some suspicion of criminal activity? Was Crosier in uniform? Was Crosier carrying a weapon? Was Crosier in the men’s locker room? Why did the team need Crosier to make the trip with them? Who approved the overtime? Who approved the trip?!?)

Aren’t you so glad to see our tax dollars are being so well administered by our trusted elected officials. Tie up Boehm, Rogers and Dolan until after January, when the new Coeymans town board takes over.

The Town of Coeymans is out of control! It seems the Coeymans police department and the Coeymanazis are running things and everyone in the Coeymans p.d. is cashing in. Why is the Town of Coeymans not accountable to anyone. The current Coeymans town board and PD are raping each and every one of us and getting away with it.

Martin Case running for Coeymans Town SupervisorIn General, we feel that Martin Case will do to Coeymans what he and the mayor John Bruno have done to Ravena: They’ve made Ravena a ghost town, a slum and a dictatorship. We can just imagine Marty Case reaching over to kiss mayor Bruno’s hairy butt from Coeymans town hall. God forbid! Marty Case has closed his eyes to civil rights abuses in Ravena, has allowed the town to misuse taxpayer money to fund an illegal health and fitness center, has supported favoritism of every kind, including appointing Cathy Deluca to be the director of the illegal fitness center without giving other more qualified people a chance to apply. Marty Case is a full-time social studies teacher but has done nothing for youth in Ravena. In fact, Case has not spoken out against Nancy Warner’s and John Bruno’s harassing of the local kids and has done nothing to support the Ravena-Coeymans Youth and Teen Activities Center. Case touts his many jobs in Ravena but doesn’t explain his plan to get Ravena out of the ugly condition it’s in. Instead, he claims he can work for Coeymans. Case is unrealistic, insincere, and a phoney. If you want Coeymans to turn into a big Ravena over night, he’s your man. If you want to get the crooks and the favoritism out of local government, VOTE NO! on Marty Case. (One question that we do have is this: Is Marty Case going to quit his teacher’s job to do the Coeymans supervisor’s job? Both are full-time positions, you know. Or which one is going to get short-changed? The kids or the town? Marty hasn’t answered that question yet, has he?)And while we’re talking about deceit, Case is running on the promise to improve relations between Ravena and Coeymans. He’s had plenty of time to do that while on the Ravena village council but there he only backed mummy mayor John “Black Mamba” Bruno and hatchet-woman Nancy Warner in badmouthing the Town of Coeymans. How’s he propose to improve relations as supervisor? By handing the town over to his godfather Ravena mayor John Bruno?
Case “supporters” , a couple of dozen or so, mostly from the village of Ravena, most all from the same family and right from the families of village employees, and all typewritten, no signatures, sent out an illiterate letter begging for votes. Read the deceptive, phoney pack of lies at Case Begs for Votes.

Marty Case is a Phoney!

Thomas “Tom” Boehm running for Coeymans town council

VOTE NO!Thomas “Tom” Boehm

Tom Boehm is another blow-hard. He’s done nothing for Coeymans that can be called positive. He works for the Albany Chamber of Commerce but has not used that connection to do anything for Coeymans at all. Boehm is a nasty backstabber, as anyone in Coeymans town hall can tell you. He’s in tight with Coeymans dodo cop Darlington and his nest of thugs. Boehm is a saboteur, an obstacle creator, a wedge in the gears of good, clean, honest government in Coeymans. Boehm hooked up with Darlington recently to put on a dog and pony act to deceive the public into thinking that Coeymans is a drug hell and that recent drug busts are a credit to the Coeymans police department. It was all a smoke and mirrors act and the press gobbled it up because it was yet another scandal, another stain on Coeymans. We don’t need our elected officials to make fools of this community; we need people in elected office who will point out the good points of a community of hard working and honest citizens. We don’t need another elected official who is a liar and a member of the croney-club. We don’t need another politician in local government who does favors in return for favors (which is what he’s doing with Darlington). We won’t go on and on about Tom Boehm because we have already reported on Boehm the Bum on this blog several times. Just search “Boehm” for relevant articles. We certainly don’t need another blow-hard do-nothing in local government. Get rid of Boehm the Bum and get someone who will do something positive for the town of Coeymans! You have a choice, you know.

Tom Boehm is a Blowhard Phoney!

Dawn Rogers running for Coeymans town council

VOTE NO!Dawn Rogers

Dawn Rogers may be a lack-luster non-achiever on the Coeymans town board. But we think we know why. We think Tom Boehm has bullied her like he likes to bully the other women in Coeymans town hall. We think that Tom Boehm and Tom Dolan have pushed her and Peter Masti into a corner and have intimidated them to the point that they appear to be chair-warmers and nothing else. Don’t get us wrong, we can’t point out anything that Dawn Rogers has done that would credit her with anything worth mentioning but if voters get rid of Boehm and eventually Dolan, Rogers, if re-elected may be able to take a deep breath and actually do something. Given the opportunity, we’d replace her in a New-York-minute but if there’s no other alternative to Rogers, she’d be the lesser of evils to keep on the board. She’ll continue to be useless if Boehm stays but if Boehm stays the whole game is lost, anyway. Boehm is poison to public officials like Rogers and Masti. We say if Boehm goes, keep Rogers and let her prove herself. If there’s a candidate with some guts to replace Rogers, once Boehm is gone, we’d replace her.

Dawn Rogers is a … What is she, anyway?

Michelle Maddage running for Coeymans town clerk

VOTE NO!Michelle Maddage

Michelle Maddage is the biggest joke on the ballott! The poor nitwit hasn’t a clue what her so-called friends, like Gregory Darlington, have done to her. If she’s that stupid, we certainly don’t need her anywhere near public office! But the biggest joke is this: Maddage has nothing to offer, no experience, no education, no record of public service, no résumé of management experience. The simple fact that she has allowed herself to be manipulated into becoming a public mockery is enough to disqualify her immediately. The main point, however, is that she is running against a very popular, very professional, very loved incumbent Town Clerk!Diane Millious has more than 24 years of experience in the clerk’s office. Yes, voters, that’s how much experience Diane Millious has! In fact, before she even ran for town clerk, she had already 10 years of experience as deputy town clerk. Maddage has allowed herself to become a twit; she’s too friendly with too many of the Coeymanazis to do the rest of us any good anyway. The fact that she has allowed herself to be made into a pathetic clown, not knowing her limitations, is clear proof she’s not the stuff we need in any public office, unless she continues to be an administrative assistant or a secretary.

Michelle Maddage is a Clown (thanks to her “friends”)!

Well, there you have it. Our reasons for recommending that town of Coeymans and voters VOTE NO! on the above candidates. If our readers want to know more about many of these candidates, we have published quite a few articles about them in the past, and you can easily search this blog for those articles.

We are not telling our readers how to vote but only to be sure to vote and when voting, to know something about the people you are voting for. We publish stuff they don’t want you to know and you won’t find in their newspaper profiles. That’s for certain.

It is our policy to ask our readers to please comment on our articles. We also want to hear from the candidates themselves with any information or clarification that might make our comments less severe, or which will shed some light on some of the points we have made. All comments are welcome and, if on topic and civil, will be published.

VOTE NO! for Case, Boehm, Rogers, MaddageThe Editor

In Most Socialist Countries the Mentally Ill, the Physically Challenged, the Socio-Economically Marginalized Sub-Populations Receive Welfare from the Public Treasury. Here We Give Crooked PoliTurds the Pay and Benefits We Have to Do Without. They’re Double- and Triple Dipping!

Something for you to think about.

Why are we paying to be abused and to have our rights violated?

Are we nutz or just plain stupid?!?

Why do we have to support them and carry them until they retire and then continue to support and carry them. Why do we reward incompetence and stupidity? We control the purse strings so let’s cut them off, get rid of them!

What does this mean to you, the gainfully employed? To you, the taxpayer? The resident who is paying a mortgage, putting food on the table for your family, working a second job, coping with gas prices, etc.

We’ve been writing for some time now about abuses, criminal conduct, crookedness, violation of constitutional rights, etc. done by local public servants and local elected officials. Maybe we’re not getting through to our readers so we decided to put it a different way for you all. Here it is:

You may or may not know that the very people who are sitting on the Ravena village board and the town of Coeymans board members and supervisor, are all elected officials. The mayor and supervisor are elected officials. They are all receiving salaries, benefits, and pension payments from your taxes. The director of the illegal Ravena Health and Fitness Center—which is costing Ravena taxpayers more than $105,000 this year alone—, Cathy Deluca, is receiving $30,000 a year salary from taxpayer money, for example.

They’re Cashing In and You’re Paying Thru the Nose in Blood!

Ravena mayor John Brunoand Ravena board member Nancy Biscone-Warner (Nancy Warneris also collecting a pension for being village of Ravena clerk/treasurer and Warner’s husband, ex-Albany cop, Harold “Hal” Warner, is cashing in as a village of Ravena justice and receiving a police pension), two lunatics in the Ravena village offices, are now picking on local kids but are receiving salaries, benefits, and pension payments out of the public treasury. Everyone hates John Brunoand he’s transformed Ravena into a ghost town over the past 30 years but you keep the mummy mayor in office and in spending money in addition to his pension from the cement plant. Pretty cozy. Brunoand his mob are some of the biggest abusers of your rights and the biggest crooks around but you’re paying them! Why is that?

Why not just burn it?

Let’s go over to the Coeymans Police Department for a minute. Pretty much everyone in the Coeymans Police Department and the Coeymans town offices can’t stand Coeymans police chief DoDo-cop Gregory Darlington; he’s useless, ignorant, and incompetent. And most of the cops hate BoBo-cop Gerald “Dirty-Hands Jerry” Deluca; he’s arrogant, dumb as dirt, and wants a piece of every action (he’s got Cathy Deluca, hauling in $30-grand from Ravena, besides). Kerry Thompson has a job with the Sheriff’s office but has been hired to do Darlington’s work for him (but still can’t keep a search warrant straight or take a resident’s complaint). We have Ryan Johnson who was dumped by another police department only to be hired by Coeymans’s Darlington; Ryan Johnson has earned the reputation as “Psycho cop,” in fact.

The latest is the bizarre coöperation between Ravena mayor John Bruno, his hatchet-woman Nancy Biscone-Warner, and the Coeymans Police Departmentto enforce a conspicuously unconstitutional loitering law and harass local kidswho may, as kids do, congregate around the gazebo in the center of the village. Way to go, public leeches, criminalize innocent behavior!

They’re also attacking the Ravena-Coeymans Youth and Teen Activity Center, the one place in Bruno’s ghost town where the kid’s can go and enjoy socializing and other kids. Did the village of Ravena provide a youth center to get the kids off the street? NO!!!Did the Town of Coeymans provide a youth center to get the kids off the street? NO!!!Did a local resident, out of concern for the welfare of local youth invest his savings, take additional jobs, invest his personal time and money to create a beautiful place for the kids to hang out under supervision? YES!!!Is village of Ravena mayor John Bruno and hatchet-woman Nancy Biscone-Warner making life miserable for the resident as well as the kids. YES!!!Why are you RCS residents paying for these lunatics?

The village of Ravena and the town of Coeymans don’t provide a place for the kids to congregate, they harass and prosecute them. Harassing and prosecuting them costs nothing and is an indirect source of revenue for the leeches. It also provides one of their most potent weapons against the community: anxiety and fear. All dictators use anxiety and fear to control the people.

How Politics Work in Ravena-CoeymansThe RCS Checks-and-Balances SystemJust like you learned in school, right?As endorsed by Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares.

Far from providing a place for kids between 12 and 17 to congregate, the village of Ravena through mayor John Bruno, Nancy Biscone Warner,Martin “Marty” Case, William “Bill” Bailey, Rocco Persico all joined up and all elected officials being paid by the public to spend $40,000 of taxpayer money on used fitness equipment from an insider and then rent/lease the property where Cathy Deluca’s failed fitness center was located to the operator and philanthropist who created the Teen Center there. The village of Ravena pays Bob [Persico] Fisk (Fisk’s mother was a Persico and does he have a history with the insider club in Ravena village hall!!!) $40,000 for fitness equipment. Then insider Josie Bruno of Prudential Real Estate (Marty Case also works part-time there as a real estate sales person as well as being a full-time teacher in the RCS Central School District; he now wants to run for the full-time position as Coeymans town supervisor. Talk about greedy!). Then Bruno, Warner, Case, and Cathy Deluca hold closed-door meetings to conjure up the Ravena Health and Fitness Center while conniving to evict the RCS Community Library and ups the library’s rent by $600 a month while Ravena board member Rocco Persico’s cousin, Don Persico, is taking his time renovating the old Knights of Columbus hall on Main Street, so he can lease it to the RCS Community Library. Once the library leaves its premises at the Ravena village hall building, the Ravena Health and Fitness Center moves in, Bruno, Warner, Case, Bailey and Persico allocate more than $105, 000 to fund the first year of the Fitness Center, and then proceed to hire, NO! appoint Cathy Deluca to be the Fitness center director at a salary of $30,000 plus benes and pension, while fraudulently getting the democrat Albany County Civil Service DepartmentMichael Cummingsto create a new civil service job title for Deluca—all fraudulently, since no mention is made of her murdering the previously failed health and fitness center she managed where the Teen Center is now located and she had no qualifications—and the nitwit director of the Albany County Civil Service Department approved the village of Ravena’s application for exemptstatus for Deluca’s position. That means she didn’t have to take a test to get the position like anyone else would have to do. Do you smell corruption here? That’s all been uncovered by this blog and is or should be under investigation by the Albany County Executive’s Office and the NYS Civil Service Commissioner.

This just in!

We’ve just received a note from one of our correspondents regarding the Albany County Civil Service Department manager Mr Michael Cummings. The note reads:

“I recently filed several F.O.I.L.s with the Albany County Civil Service Department and was concerned that my cc’s to the director of the department, Mr Michael Cummings, were being bounced back as ‘undeliverable.’ I wondered if he might have gotten really peeved for my inquiries into the village of Ravena’s request for creation of a civil service title for Cathy Deluca and that he was blocking my emails. I found out he was really on the hot seat about what he let slide by regarding Ravena’s request. So I contacted the F.O.I.L. officer at the County Exec’s office who wrote back: “Michael Cummings is no longer employed at Albany County Civil Service” and “Michael Cummings does not work for the county any longer.” I’m just wondering if Mr Cummings got canned once the cat hit the fan about the Ravena application and Deluca’s questionable position.”

We think Cummings got canned for the flack they received and the fact that there was no good reason for the Albany County Civil Service Department approving the request when they didn’t have any of the documents required by the law. They really came out of the fray with faces covered in rotten egg and Cummings probably got canned in the process or “resigned.”

It looks like making noise and asking the right questions is having its effects…maybe they got cold feet anticipating an investigation by the State Attorney General and the State Civil Service Commission. Ravena, of course, is really tight-lipped about the entire affair. Wonder Why?

Now, where is that sleazy Albany County District Attorney, P. David Soares, the polititurd this county elected to oversee law enforcement and to prosecute criminal behavior in Albany County? Wait a minute, he has his own problems, doesn’t he?

The Village of Ravena-Town of Coeymans Youth ProgramAs developed by Ravena Mayor John Bruno and trustee Nancy Warner with the Cooperation of the Coeymans Police DepartmentAs endorsed by Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares.(And Where’s the Albany County Department of Children, Youth and families in all this?)

And what’s the first thing Cathy Deluca achieves in her new plum job, even before the Ravena Health and Fitness Center is officially opened?She opens her big mouth and gets the village of Ravena served with a Notice of Claim and a lawsuit for at least $1,000, 000 (Yes! That’s one million dollars at least). She then opens herself up to criminal charges by lying to the Coeymans Police about an incident that never happened. Another Notice of Claim, another lawsuit, another $1,000,000.

Are you following all of this? It gets better and this is just one item!

But does the village of Ravena have any money for a youth center or to support the RC Teen and Youth Activity Center— after spending more than $40,000 of taxpayer money to Bob Fisk for used fitness equipment and then allocating more than $105,000 to support the Ravena Health and Fitness Center in its 2013-2014 budget—NO!!!But it does have the money to put up cameras to monitor local kids hanging around the village gazebo. By the way, the village gazebo with its “No Loitering by Order of the Village Board” sign is on private property and the village pays rent to an insider, Don Persico(Yes. The same Persico who owns the new Library location!) to have the gazebo on his property. Is the smell getting stronger, we ask you?

IMAGINERavena Village Hall & Coeymans Police DepartmentAs supported by Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares.

OK. So now we have all of the village of Ravena’s priorities lined up. Now let’s get back to Coeymans.

Catherine M. Deluca a.k.a. Cathy Deluca—that’s her full name but the village of Ravena still thinks it’s just Cathy Deluca—has a long history of salacious behavior before she became socialite and Ravena Health and Fitness Center director. (Her extramarital fun-on-the-farm with her now spouse Gerald “Dirty-Hands Jerry” Deluca, Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington‘s darling and a so-called police investigator with the Coeymans Police Departmentis a legend in these parts.) But the connection with the Coeymans P.D. is what we want to look at here. It’s an example of what you’re paying for.

The criminal complaint against Cathy Deluca goes to the Coeymans Police Department for criminally falsely reporting an incident and conspiracy, both misdemeanors.Disappears! POOF! How’d that happen?

Coeymans Police Chief Gregory Darlington, former garbage collector, later Coeymans police officer, then—after taking the civil service exam at least three times before he passed it—through some administrative brain fart hired to be Coeymans Police Chief, once in the job, rehired all the duds his predecessor had fired, including Guess who? YUP! Gerald “Dirty-Hands Jerry” Deluca. So now you have an incompetent Deluca (Jerry) on the Coeymans police force and an incompetent Deluca i(Cathy) in a director’s position at the village of Ravena. Now, remember Cathy’s first accomplishments as director of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center? The lawsuits? The criminal complaint goes to the Coeymans Police Departmentfor criminally falsely reporting an incident and conspiracy, both misdemeanors. Disappear! POOF!How’d that happen, you may well ask, given the solid evidence provided? You should ask Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington (Don’t bother. He doesn’t answer calls, he doesn’t respond to emails, he doesn’t answer letters.) Or ask Officer Jason Albert, the investigating officer (Don’t bother. He wants to keep his job. He has only about 5 years til retirement and he wants his pension.) Or ask Gerald “Dirty-Hands Jerry” Deluca, police investigator, if he has any hand in getting the charges to disappear or leaking the evidence against his wife to the village of Ravena’s insurance company’s attorney? You’re also paying that dud David Wukitschto be the Coeymans town attorney—should we ask him?

Criminal charges, even felonies, tend to disappear in Ravena-Coeymans if you’re the son of a board member (Right, Tom Dolan?) or the daughter of a board member (Right Dawn Rogers?), of if you have “friends in the police department” (Right,Scott Lendin?) or if you’re married to an employee of the Coeymans Police Department (Right, Cathy Deluca?). But watch out if you’re a kid congregating with other kids on the village of Ravena gazebo—you’re being videoed and a Coeymans patrol car is on it’s way to getcha!

One Thing is Certain: You won’t get out of the web if you just lie there; they’ll eat you alive!Made Possible by the Fine Law Enforcement Efforts of Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares.

Now we have to move on to who gets jobs in the village offices and in the town of Coeymans offices and now that we have exposed the spider’s web of incest and favoritism at work at your expense in Ravena-Coeymans, we’ll turn our attention to the candidates the dems have nominated for pubic office in the upcoming elections. Better take an anti-puke pill before reading the next article, you’ll need one.

You Can’t Be Indifferent Once You Read This Blog. You Either Love It Or Hate It. And We Know Exactly Who Hates It.

The two features that characterizes the Blogger and the freedom-loving Americans who contribute to this blog either by writing, commenting, or sending in leads for stories are good old American pioneer spirit and courage. Yes. A pioneer spirit that dares to push the frontiers, to test the mettle, to challenge the powers and the elements. And courage. That virtue that draws the line between cowards and sheeple and those of us who are not afraid to call a crook a crook or to confront a corrupt cop or politician, or to challenge an illegal law. We don’t suck anyone dry. We don’t kick you when you’re down. We don’t pick on kids and old women. We call a spade a spade and shout “Screw P.C.” We tell it like it is!

We are the real Americans in word, deed and spirit.

Do You Have Any?

And what about the rest of you. You eat away your denial and depression. You approach 400 pounds and then cry you have no benefits to cover your heart disease and your diabetes–yours and your fat kids’. Or you isolate yourselves in closed groups or gated communities emphasizing the fact that you’re detached and isolated from the real world. You go to the polls knowing little or nothing about the people you elect and you don’t ask or demand to know. Or you do know them and you’re voting not because they’re good but because they share your own corrupt and misguided ideas about life and society—most of them greed-driven. You go to church on Sunday and promise love of neighbor, and leave church with a strategy on how to screw the living life-blood out of your neighbors on Monday. You close your eyes to the evil around you and so become complicit in it and an accessory to the very crimes and abuse you complain of.

you witness violation of civil rights and scuttling of democracy in your front yard without a whimper

You scream civil rights and democracy but you witness violations of civil rights and scuttling of democracy in your front yard without a whimper, and then beat the war drums when it comes to some distant land you can’t even locate on a map if you had to do so. Democracy begins at home, you know; here it’s long dead so we try to reinvent it elsewhere…and fail.

Americans Have Become The Pussies And The Bullies Of The International Community

Everyone knows there’s a Constitution and a Bill of Rights but hasn’t a clue what they mean. Sure, all you gun-toting, law-abiding hunters and “sportsmen” scream bloody murder when it comes to your Second Amendment “rights” (that’s the “right to bear arms” one, you know) and are Gung ho! when it comes to shooting a helpless wild animal or at a painted target; but you’d likely shit your guts out if confronted by a 250 pound 6 foot hairy Syrian with a slingshot, though. Americans have become the pussies and the bullies of the international community (fact: bullies are really pussies) thanks to the abuse they get at home by their lying, cheating so-called elected officials and law enforcement (fact: bullies were/are victims of abuse). By the way, how many of you overweight armchair heroes out there were ever in uniform, cops included, and we don’t mean a Hot Shops uniform, or a Halloween police costume (Yeah! You! Gregory Darlingtonand “Dirty-Hands” Jerry Deluca.) And we don’t mean those of you who play the macho Latino superhero…you know, the National Guard desk jockeys who, underneath the macho walk and talk, are pink little pussies.

How Many of You are Pink Pussies?

How many of you actually walk the walk and talk the talk of real liberty, spirit, and American community? Not many from where we’re standing. And you knowit’s true. So, what are you going to do about it? Probably get really pissed off at this blog because it’s telling it like it is. AGAIN, STILL. Or are you going to wake up, smell the coffee, and do something about it? Are you going to admit that your Coeymans police department is inefficient, corrupt, even criminal and demand…DEMAND PUBLICLY, that is, that the Coeymans town boardtake the rudder and do some disciplining and firing. Demand that the Ravena village board and the Coeymans town board remember who elected them and why. Demand hat the town board stop playing cookie-jar to the Coeymans police and stop feeding the money pit they’ve created. How about some transparency—and a new police chief who doesn’t threaten the town clerk’s employees when they obey the laws of New YorkState because doing so might expose Gregory Darlington and Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca and others in the department for the thugs and criminals that they are.

Ravena News Herald/Times Useless Reporter Looking for a Story

Maybe somehow, if we all got together and demanded some accountability and some respect for laws in our village and town halls and in our police department we could, just maybe, become a real community instead of a backwater source of scandal for rags like the Times Useless. Maybe if the local “official newspaper,” the Ravena News Heraldwould print some real local news instead of love-fest reports and news from Schenectady, Rensselaer, and beyond. Maybe if the News Herald were not such a bunch of prostitutes they might even investigate some of the facts wepublish and publish them, too. Wouldn’t that be a welcome change? Truth, reality, and real facts in the Times Union and News Herald. Maybe we should say NO! to our village and town hall becoming a family business instead demand a center for excellence in small-town government.

Have a Look a the Real World Outside of Your Constricted, Selfish, Individualistic, Materialistic Pin Heads

This Community Has Become a Bunch of Pinheads

Do you even know how many of our local official’s sons, daughters, cousins, buddies are actually working in their friends’ and relatives’ departments in the village of Ravena or the town of Coeymans? How many are being given jobs at taxpayer expense and you don’t even know that the village or town is getting them civil service status unlawfully or by lying outright (Right? Mayor Bruno, Nancy Warner, Cathy Deluca). Do you know what that means to you? You will soon because we’re going to be publishing the incestuous connections, the favoritism, the croneyism that’s been festering right under your noses and has been insidiously making this Ravena-Coeymans area a ghost town, a cesspool of corruption, an asylum of denial and fear, just the place where people want their kids to grow up. Right? Maybe those of you who are members of the special clubs like Friends of RCS (Wadda joke!), Save the Arts at RCS, RCS Sports Association, RCS Friends and More should take a step out of the holy of holies of your special little groups and have a look a the real world outside of your constricted, selfish, individualistic, materialistic pin heads! Look around you! Breath the LaFargeair deep into your collapsed lungs! Take a ride down the pothole pocked streets or a swim in them during a heavy rain! Try to find the creeks and waterways your Coeymans code enforcement officer, Laverne “Larry” Conrad, and your local shyster, Michael J. Biscone, have buried and have evaded the attention of the NYS Department of Environmental Corruption! Your tax dollars at work, you know!

Take a closer look at the composition of your Ravena Coeymans Selkirk Central School District Board of Education. Did you really intend it to be a nest of self-interested, greedy bastards—most all BoE members are teachers or married to a teacher—who now have control of more than $40,000,000 (yes that’s millions) of tax dollars and how they pad their pockets by appointments of family members and friends? All this while the bullying and student-on-student attacks continue, per student costs are nearly the highest in the state, and graduation ratesremain the lowestin the state! Do you even know how many teachers or relatives of teachers are on your board of education. Or that the very man they cursed and defiled, interim superintendent Allen R. McCartneyhas no balls and now is a friend of the very people who vociferously demanded he not be hired? By the way, keep a very close eye on the board of education, they’re gradually crowding you, the public, out of the inner circle of information, making decisions behind closed doors without your knowledge and inputs. In other words, the RCS BoE is starting to operate on the corrupt model of the village of Ravena. We’re starting to believe the Ravena syndrome is an infection; the corruption started when the RCS BoE moved into the Ravena offices building, you know! Your tax dollars going into their pockets. How do you feel about that?

Your Coeymans police chief, Gregory Darlington, a mere employee of the town, has threatened the Coeymans town clerk’s office with consequences if the clerk’s office continues to process residents’ F.O.I.L. requests for information about what’s going on in the Coeymans P.D

BoBo & DoDo Off-duty

New York State has laws that say the public has a right to information. One of those laws is the Freedom of Information Law or F.O.I.L. What do you think of the allegation that your Coeymans police chief, a mere employee of the town, has threatened the Coeymans town clerk’s office with consequences if the clerk’s office continues to process residents’ F.O.I.L. requests for information about what’s going on in the Coeymans P.D. The Coeymans police chief, Gregory Darlington, has violated his oath to support, protect, defend the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States and of the State of New York and now he’s threatening the office of the town of Coeymans clerk, a town official ELECTED by the people and who has also taken an oath to support, protect and to defend the Constitution of the United States, if her employees obey the law. Here we have a dumbass fat man threatening a highly experienced, competent, professional woman and her female staff members who are doing their jobs extremely well and in excellent service of the residents of this town. How far are we going to let this garden gnome Darlington and his jelly-belly bimbo-chaser, Deluca, push this community into becoming a police state.

“Indifferent to truth, willing to use police-state tactics and vulgar libels against inconvenient witnesses, hopeless on health care, and flippant and fast and loose with national security. ― Christopher Hitchens

And then there’s the village of Ravena with its lunatic mummy mayor John Bruno and his band of dithering winged monkeys (Remember the Wizard of Oz?) — Warner, Bailey, Case, Persico, Demitraszek, Deluca — sucking the life out of what was once a vibrant model village community. Ravena has become a withering, wincing, whining, shadow of a stain on the map of AlbanyCounty. Why? Because the vampiresin the Ravena village hall and the Coeymanazishave one thing in mind: squeeze everything and anything of value out of this community and leave the rest to the maggots. Mayor John Bruno and his hatchet woman, Nancy Warner, and the three stooges, William “Bill” Bailey, Martin “Marty” Case, and Rocco Persico, have violated just about every ethical principle, human and constitutional right imaginable. They’ve done this under the gavel of a viscious, lunatic, mendacious, clown of a mayor, John Bruno, supported by the greedy, vile, sweaty, bloated local shyster of the Biscone tribe, Michael J. Biscone, who has attempted just about every evil trick in the book, including attempting to censor freedom of speech at village meetings. (Yes! Reported in the Ravena News Herald in 2009 and more recently on this blog.)

Mr R. Houghtaling, the former very competent Coeymans town supervisor and a very smart man, told Ravena mayor John Bruno to get lost and read him the riot act on the First Amendment and Bruno and jerky-boy, Michael “Fix–a Felony–for–a-Price” Biscone tucked their impotent tails between their scrawny legs and turn-tailed backed off.

Anything Good Will Contrast So Sharply with What’s Been Going on It Will Show Them Up for the Villains That They Are

Now the John Bruno–Nancy Warner gang are trying to destroy anything good happening in the village of Ravena and the hamlet of Coeymans because anything good will contrast so sharply with what’s been going on it will show them up for the villains that they are.

Of course, the Coeymans police departmentand Do-Do cop Gregory “Diddling” Darlington jumps on the bandwagon of rights violations, most recent atrocity has been reported here on this blog about the Ravena gazebo and Ravena’s unconstitutional loitering law. They’re trying to get to the adults, again, by using the kids.

How is it that this RCS area has gotten into the despicable and vile habit of pushing their agendas through on the backs of the children of this community. Every nasty scheme and political shenanigan has been either “for the kids,” “about the kids,” or in the case of the Bruno–Warren–Coeymans Police campaign, “against the kids.”

Are Bruno, Warner, and the cops trying to intimidate or retaliate against the kids, the Teen Center?

In fact, we have witness reports about mayor John Bruno, Ravena board member Nancy Biscone-Warner, and the Coeymans police driving by the gazebo multiple times in a single night when the kids are at the Teen Center. Is this passive aggression directed at the kids, the Teen Center? Are Bruno, Warner, and the Coeymans cops trying to intimidate or retaliate against the kids, the Teen Center? Don’t the Coeymans cops have anyone to harass now that the kids are off the streets, enjoying a beautiful place under a caring competent adult’s supervision, staying out of trouble. Are the Coeymans cops getting bored? Are Brunoand Warnerafraid something good is happening in town and they don’t have control over it or are not making some sort of profit from it or getting a take? You can figure this out on your own; all you have to do is wake up and see reality around you.

Elections are coming up soon and you have to ask yourselves some very realistic questions:

Do you enjoy living under the thumb of a corrupt Albany Democrat machine and its lackeys in Ravena and Coeymans?

Are you O.K. with the abuse of the civil service system by the Albany County Civil Service Department under Mr Michael Cummings and the slick way they tried to slip Cathy Deluca in as Fitness Center Directoron a non-competitive civil service job title?

Do you want to have your village and town governments turned into family businesses like what’s happened in Ravena and what’s happening in the town of Coeymans now?

Do you like being left out of the public information links?

Do you want to know what’s going on in your community?

Do you want the vermin from the village of Ravena insiders club, the very ones who have implemented mayor John Bruno’s ghost town plan and the Biscone plan to own Ravena outright, to get their hooks and claws into the government of the town of Coeymans?

Do you really need someone like Martin Case or William Bailey to extend mayor John Bruno’s agenda of scorch-and-burn, then buy cheaply, to the town of Coeymans?

Do we really want a Coeymans police department that is sucking the public treasury dry, botching up drug raids (raiding the wrong apartments etc.), that is obstructing justice, that is abusing public office, outright threatening our honest elected officials, intimidating and retaliating, changing this community into a mini-police state because then they can do the bidding of the Brunos and Biscones in the area. Then they can keep everyone quiet–well, not everyone–and in a police state of terror

Do your want to give the RCS board of education, now dominated by special-interest crooks and cronies, unsupervised, unmonitored free rein with millions of taxpayer dollars?

Since the last so – called election, the RCS board of education is now more of a membership – only club than an elected body; it’s now more of a special-interests lobby (and their interests are not yours!) than a public service group; Unless you demand accountability and transparency you’re not going to get it from them willingly! In fact, there’s a very scary connection between the BoE and the village of Ravena, did you know that? (We’ll be publishing some interesting facts on that connection of corruption soon, too!)

Are you happy with the way the village of Ravena (like the Ravena Health and Fitness Center scam) and the town of Coeymans (the new police cruisers, the hiring irregularities, the lack of supervision) are spending your money? How many patrol cars does the Coeymans Police Department need, anyway? Maybe a safe driving course would be better for some of them. Maybe making most of them unemployed would be best for all of us.

How much more of the village of Ravena has to disappear or lapse into the hands of the Biscones, the Persicos, the Brunos, the Delucas, the Conrads, the Perrines before residents stand up and put a stop to the mismanagement and abuse?

Are you willing to make the town of Coeymans a big Ravena by putting someone like Martin Casein the Supervisor’s office?

Dear readers, royalty and special privileged classes were rejected with the blood of colonial Americans who revolted against tyranny. They gave us a Constitution and later a Bill of Rights. For generations since those courageous steps, men and women of noble heart and love of liberty have shed their blood in defense of the liberties and freedoms granted by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In recent years, men and women of evil intentions and traitorous hearts have eroded those rights and liberties for their own gain, and they’ve done it by stealth, deception, lies, and cheating.

There is a saying that all politics start in the home. If that’s true, we really had better take a very close look at what’s going on right at our dinner table or in our living rooms before it’s really too late, and we have to live in the police state they’ve created for us and which we have allowed them to create.

P.s. A few political quotes I’ve selected for you to think about:

“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” — Edward R. Murrow

“You’re not to be so blind with patriotism that you can’t face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.” — Malcolm X, By Any Means Necessary

“Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.” — Winston Churchill

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. — Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal.”— John Steinbeck

“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.” — Napoleon Bonaparte

“Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” — Ronald Reagan

“If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don’t bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don’t bullshit yourself that you’re not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard’s vote.” — David Foster Wallace, Up, Simba!

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” — C.S. Lewis

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.” — Dwight D. Eisenhower

“People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It’s not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.” — Milan Kundera “Indifferent to truth, willing to use police-state tactics and vulgar libels against inconvenient witnesses, hopeless on health care, and flippant and fast and loose with national security.” ― Christopher Hitchens

“The fact is that the modern implementation of the prison planet has far surpassed even Orwell’s 1984 and the only difference between our society and those fictionalized by Huxley, Orwell and others, is that the advertising techniques used to package the propaganda are a little more sophisticated on the surface.
Yet just a quick glance behind the curtain reveals that the age old tactics of manipulation of fear and manufactured consensus are still being used to force humanity into accepting the terms of its own imprisonment and in turn policing others within the prison without bars.” ― Paul Joseph Watson

Coeymanazi Tactics Just Go So Far and Then Blow Up in Their Faces

That’s what’s happened when Cathy Deluca, director of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, tried to harass and bully a local resident. That was the wrong thing to do and the wrong person to do it to. Right, Cathy?

Cohort of Clowns

It seems that mayor John T. Bruno and his cohort of clowns, the trustees of the village of Ravena (William Bailey, Martin Case , Rocco Persico, and Nancy Warner) made a bad choice when they “appointed” Cathy Delucato the $30K position as director of the fitness center.

We recently reported how a visit to the Ravena Health and Fitness Center was less than impressive. But what we didn’t report on was the way a visitor to the RHFCwas treated by Cathy Delucaand how that treatment has landed Delucaand the village of Ravena in a very, very sticky situation.

In fact, on June 4, 2013, the Ravena mayor John T. Bruno, the village of Ravena, the trustees of the Village of Ravena, and Cathy Delucawere served with a Notice of Claim, advising them that a local resident intends to sue them for at least $1,000,000for abuse received at the hands of Cathy Deluca.

Cathy Deluca

A Notice of Claim (N.Y. GMU. LAW § 50-e) is the preliminary step that is required under New York State Law when a lawsuit is looming against a municipality or a corporation. It’s supposed to give them a chance to get their ducks in a row and investigate. Later a hearing (N.Y. GMU. LAW § 50-h), called a 50H, is scheduled and the claimant or witnesses are examined under oath. That allows the municipality to decide whether to fight or to make an offer. If the preliminaries fail, the case goes to the courts. Transcripts of the testimony are made available to the claimant, who has the opportunity to correct any errors or even to clarify answers. Those transcripts can be read into evidence by either party at any hearing, trial, or on a motion.

Deluca calls him over to the reception counter and starts verbally assaulting him

The Facts in a Nutshell: During the open-house days the public was invited to check out the RHFC, and the resident, who works out regularly, went to tour the RHFC. The tour went very well but when the resident was about to leave, Deluca calls him over to the reception counter and starts verbally assaulting him.

Ever Heard of This?

Apparently Cathy Deluca wasn’t aware of federal and state laws, First and Fourteenth Amendment protected rights, and the fact that being an employee of a government entity and working in a public place could get you into some very hot water if you don’t mind your manners and know your place. Of course, Cathy Deluca doesn’t mind her manners or know her place, judging by the facts of the case.

VIOLATED!!!

Bottom line is: Delucaverbally abused the visitor, demanded that he stop his constitutional rights of free expressive activity, expelled the visitor from the RHFC, a public place, for no good reason, and she enlisted the assistance of two RHFCemployees to intimidate and force the visitor to leave. Delucaviolated so many of the visitors protected rightswe wouldn’t have time or space to list them here but will soon be posting the full text of the Notice of Claim, the Claimant’s Affidavitserved on the village of Ravena, and the Deposition in Support filed with the complaint with the Coeymans Police Department on a charge of harassment.

VIOLATED!!!

We have information that Deluca and two RHFCemployees, apparently the same employees that assisted Delucain harassing the visitor, attempted to complain to the Coeymans Policethat the visitor had caused the incident, but the lies will not take them far, and the two employees had better be very careful before they get themselves deeper into the muck and charged along with Deluca.

PerjuryLying under Oath

Our advice to the two RHFC employees who seem to have made misleading statements: Be very careful what you say and don’t be led astray by any promises. The law takes very seriously false statements and perjury and you may be getting set up for a very rocky ride. You never know what’s out there to support the facts and the truth. Caution!

The Plot Thickens…

Cathy Deluca is the nexus between the Ravena mafiosi and the Coeymanazis.

This can start to get really complicated. Here’s why: We frequently use the term “incest club” and this is a classic example of how the club operates. Here we have the infamous Bruno-Biscone connections: Ravena mayor John Bruno, Ravena trustee Nancy Warner (a Biscone), one of the main supporters of the Ravena Health and FitnessCenter and on the budget committee that approved the funds for the Center in the 2013-14 Ravena budget($115,500.00) is wife of Ravena village justice Harold “Hal” Warner. Nancy is also a tool of Ravena mayor Bruno and, as we’ve mentioned, Warner is a supporter of the Ravena Health and Fitness Center conspiracy, she’s head of the budget committee for the Fitness Center, and was instrumental in getting Cathy Delucathe job as director (that way mayor Brunocan keep his bony fingers clean). Michael Biscone, as is common knowledge, is the on-again-off-again Ravena village shyster, “getting things done” whether he’s on the books or not. Cathy Deluca, it seems,is the “item” between the Ravena mafiosiand the Coeymanazis. Cathy Delucais Gerald “Dirty Hands” Deluca’spartner. As you already know, Delucais a member of the Coeymans police department and a local ringleader of the Coeymanazis. Delucahas a reputation for stymying investigations, for making nutty statements, and allegedly for misusing privileged information; he’s also a scofflaw, which is just what we need on the police force, and may have committed misdemeanor adultery under current New York state law when he was servicing Cathy, while he was still married! There are also speculations that he may have misused information and information access available to police departments and police officers. The list could go on but that’s another article.

Gregory Darlington has “allegedly” held up a number of investigations

Jerry Deluca

The investigation of the criminal allegations against Cathy Delucais being handled by the Coeymans Police Department, which is headed by Gregory Darlington, whose wife is a secretary in P. David Soares’, Albany County District Attorney, office. Nancy and Hal Warner’sdaughter is “allegedly” a lawyer working in the Albany Co. DA’s office. Gregory Darlingtonhas “allegedly” held up a number of investigations for one reason or another—few of them credible—, usually because of his incompetence, his ignorance or both (and the Coeymans taxpayers pay him more than $90K/year + benes!), and as Coeymans police chief, Darlington will probably be involved in the criminal investigation of the charges alleged against Cathy Deluca. Darlingtonand Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca are reportedly very cozy. So how cna Darlington allow an investigation of his buddy’s pet squeeze? How’s that going to work? And let’s don’t forget Kerry Thompson, who was made Darlington’s “administrative assistant” at more than $31.00/hr. Don’t think he’s so clean, either. Even if Darlington turns the investigation over to him, Thompson’s married to Darlington’s sister!!!

Darlington and Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca are reportedly very cozy.

The criminal allegations against Cathy Delucawill probably be stonewalled by the political interests involved, especially since Ravena trustees Martin Case and William Bailey have their eyes on higher local political office, particularly Marty Casewho wants to be Coeymans supervisor. Do you think there may be something to Cathy Deluca’sgetting the $30K director position in the Ravena Health and Fitness Center, her husband’s connections with the Coeymans Police Department and the town of Coeymans, the local democrat machine, and the Ravena trustees’ targeting the Coeymans supervisor’s office? Will Coeymans become another ghost town like Ravena if mayor Bruno’s pet cockroach, Marty Case, gets to be supervisor?

Speaking of Martin “Marty” Case, a teacher at the RCS high-school, there’s a lot of skeletons in that closet. There’s word around that there was some incident in a recent field trip where Casewas supposed to be supervising students but left his post to party. Is it true? Let’s hope its being investigated! And let’s not forget the reports of Marty Case’s illegal activities electioneering for the local sports association in the school. Is this being investigated, Dr McCartney? Again, these people have no ethics, morals, or common sense and yet this community elects them to lead the community…to hell.

The a history of animosity between the Ravena Bruno regimeand the town of Coeymans that’s been plaguing this community for decades is common knowledge. Maybe, now with John Bruno planning to run againfor re-election—Why won’t that mummy just roll over and retire?—his little minions Bill Baileyand Marty Case are planning to infiltrate the town of Coeymans and hand it over to the godfather,John Bruno. Yeah! Cathy Deluca gets the job of director of the RHFC and Bruno gets to put his little puppet Marty Case in the executive’s chair in the Coeymans town hall. Steve Flach, are you listening? Praying?

It makes skinny dipping in a shark tank seem attractive, even safer…

Now, since the Coeymans Police are investigating the criminal allegations against Cathy Deluca, the complaint will be reviewed by Coeymans town attorney—Guess who?—Yes! Gregory Teresi, son of twice (at least) disciplined democrat NY supreme court judge, Joe Teresi, who was also formerly a Coeymans town attorney. Gregory Teresi is Ravena village attorney AND Coeymans town attorney! Do you want to talk about conflict of interests? Gregory Teresi, unless he has the ethics and the good sense to recuse himself, is the keystone to saving Cathy Deluca’sbroad bottom: First of all, he would be the one to review the criminal charges against Cathy Delucaand decide whether or not to prosecute. Then he will probably—unless Michael Bisconebumps him—to handle the Notice of Claim, the 50-h hearings, and the planned lawsuit against the village of Ravena and Cathy Deluca. These attorneys, Gregory Teresi, Michael Biscone, Joe Rotello—now a clerk with the 3rd District Appellate Court that is responsible for attorney discipline—, and Louis Neri—a former partner in the Biscone law firm— are all in bed together.

So, when Greg Teresi’spride and arrogance gets the best of him and he makes the stupid mistake of getting involved with the Delucacase, he’s going to face ethics charges of conflict of interest, and possibly because of his involvement with the Deluca case, there’ll also be charges of conspiracyand corruption. So go for it Greg! See if daddy Joe Teresi can save you! Joe Rotello (by the way, Rotello’s mother was a Persicomaking Joe Rotello one of the Ravena mafiosi) may not be so willing to jump in to pull you out and risk his reptilian neck, even though he’s cozy with Ravena and with daddy Joe Teresi. So you may be standing alone facing the scrutiny of the Appellate Division’s Committee on Professional Standards, and likely criminal charges, too!

O.K., say Gregory Darlington, Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca, Greg Teresi don’t manage to kill the criminal charges against Cathy Deluca. What then? What Coeymans town justice or Ravena village justice would be impartial and qualified to hear the case? Certainly not Harold “Hal” Warner, he’s stuck in this conspiracy like a stick in concrete with his wife, Nancy Warner, a trustee on the Ravena village board and so tightly wrapped around the Ravena Health and Fitness scandal she stinks of itand Cathy Deluca’ssituation, a nuclear missile couldn’t separate them. Could George Dardiani, the former school cook, take the case? His wife’s a nurse in the RCS school district. They’re both too closely connected with the schools and with the teachers and employees of the schools. Dardianihates to handle cases involving teachers. But get this, Martin Caseis a teacher at the RCS high school and on the Ravena village board, and he’s planning to run for the Coeymans town supervisor office. Rocco Persicois a psychologist at the RCS high school and on theRavena village board. Are you connecting the dots? George Dardiani—Mrs Nurse Dardiani—Martin Case—Rocco Persico—RCS Central School District—Matt-the-Mutt Miller—Teachers Union—RCS board of education—Fiends of RCS—Dirty Hands Jerry Deluca—Hal Warner—Nancy Warner—Cathy Deluca—mayor John Bruno…it’s what we call a circle-jerk: you do me, ill do who’s next, they’ll do you. Coeymans town justice Phillip Crandall doesn’t like confrontation and doesn’t like getting his hands dirty…or is he just plain cowardly? Who knows? But there isn’t one judge in Ravena or Coeymans who can hear the Deluca case, which is very bad for Cathy, because the case will have to go to a court outside Ravena or Coeymans, and the Coeymanazis will likely have a very difficult time getting an outside judge to play their little games. So it’s a Catch-22 for Cathy and her gang. If they publicly try to pull her out of this mess, they risk getting prosecuted; if they don’t try to pull her out, their little scam collapses around their ears! Poor crooks!

SoaresAlbany County DA

Now, throw the ethically derelict Albany County dem DA P[udenda] David Soares, a cog in the Albany democratic machine, into this witches’ brew of shyster soup and it gets really toxic! Surprised? Shouldn’t be! Read our piece on the disappearing felonies (for a price) (Click on this link to read: Exposé: The Lost Felonies)!

Lest we forget, Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington’s wife is a secretary in Albany DA P[udenda] David Soares’office. Can it get more cozy?

Gregory Teresis is Ravena village attorney AND Coeymans town attorney! (So do you think he’s tainted? Compromised?)

Warner

So, in summary: Cathy Delucagets a plum job with the village of Ravena. Ravena village trustees have their eyes glued to the supervisor’s office in Coeymans. Cathy Deluca’shusband is thick with the town of Coeymans and the Coeymans Police Department. The Coeymans Police Departmentis investigating the criminal allegations against the wife, Cathy Deluca, of one of its own, Dirty-Hands Jerry Deluca, and Coeymans police chief Gregory Darlington, a cozy friend of Deluca, will likely oversee the investigation. Whether the case will be prosecuted is subject to review by Greg Teresi, who is both Ravena village attorney and the Coeymans town attorney, Greg Teresiwho has close connections with the Delucasand with the village of Ravena, and Ravena attorney Michael Biscone. Do you think any of these dingbats will have the good sense to recuse themselves from the investigation, from the case? Not very lkely because if any link in this criminally corrupt chain fails to do his/her part, the whole house of cards collapses, and so does the power structure. There’s a lot at stake here. Just follow the money!

If any link in this criminally corrupt chain fails to do his/her part, the whole house of cards collapses, and so does the power structure….

So where do you think the criminal investigation against Cathy Deluca is likely to end up? Wherever it ends up, there’ll be a trail to follow. And then we’ll investigate to find out who is steering state and federal law enforcement away from this cesspool of local corruption in Ravena-Coeymans public office and who’s protecting whom from the feds. Let’s see how far the civil right violations, now public and unavoidable, travel up the ladder. Where the case stops is where we start digging.

But now we’re looking at going after Shop’n Save for violating two candidates’ First Amendment rights and preventing them from legitimate expressive activity in a public place. You may think free speech has been dead and buried in the RCS district for decades but it’s now rising up fast and with a vengeance! (If you don’t know what we’re talking about, please read “Latter-Hyslop-Brown’s Miss Piggies: “We’ll never shop here again!“)

[Editor’s Note: Because of the nature of the public corruption and the protected rights violations, the papers will be forwarded to the FBI for evaluation and investigation. This has become a civil-rights case already, and will very likely involve federal authorities in addition to state agencies once it gets their notice and it will get their notice.]

Please standby and be patient. Scanning the legal papers takes some time but we promise to publich them as soon as we can.
